Join a riveting exploration of the political landscape in the first decade of the twenty-first century. Dive into the narrow 2000 election and the promise of "compassionate conservatism," the seismic events of 9/11, the War on Terrorism, and the Iraq War. Witness the tumultuous Great Recession of 2008-2009 and the historic election of Barack Obama, marking a transformative era in healthcare, race relations, and governance.

This discussion-based class, enhanced with extensive video content, delves into the complex factors that shaped this turbulent decade and continue to influence the United States today. In addition to lively discussions, participants will have access to a curated list of contemporary scholarly and popular books, enriching the learning experience.

Stan Katz is a former professor of public policy at Princeton University, and former head of the American Council of Learned Societies. He is a scholar of legal history, constitutional law, and philanthropy.
